Bitcoin fell below $82,000 today, wiping out its recent gains as surging oil prices stoked inflation concerns and pressured risk assets.
📉 Market Snapshot & Major Headlines
• Crypto Markets Slide: Bitcoin (BTC) dropped to roughly $81,739, down over 3% on the day. Ethereum (ETH) closely followed the downward trend, sliding to $2,400. The slide was highly correlated with global Brent crude oil prices topping $111 a barrel, forcing a risk-off environment across the board.
• Trump Sued Over Crypto Firm Dealings: A shareholder of Circle Internet Group filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump on Thursday. The suit alleges he illegally profited from billions of dollars in digital currency purchases routed through his family's crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, in violation of the Constitution's foreign emoluments clause.
• SoFi Launches Tokenized Deposits: In a major move for retail crypto cash, SoFi Technologies launched an interest-bearing tokenized deposit product. It allows users to earn 4.4% annual interest on idle cash designated for crypto purchases while carrying traditional FDIC insurance protections.
• Coinbase Ireland Fined: Coinbase’s Irish arm was hit with a $3.6 million fine by Irish regulators due to historical customer fund segregation flaws and oversight failures.
• Acquisition Rumors Denied: Crypto custody infrastructure leader Fireblocks explicitly denied rumors that it was in acquisition discussions with payments giant Visa for a reported $2.5 billion.
